[i](Chuck) Deiterich had assured a representative of the Atomic Energy Commission...that the controllers would see to it that the cask landed in deep water a couple of hundred miles off the coast of New Zealand.[/i]
[i]Under the best of circumstances nothing upsets a RETRO or a FIDO more than an attitude error, but this time there was the added problem of aiming the cask of radioactive fuel that Deiterich had promised the A.E.C. he would set down off New Zealand... Deiterich was still worrying about the fuel cask, possibly because he felt the gaze of the A.E.C. man on the back of his neck. He rapidly figured out where the cask would come down under the new circumstances [i.e. attitude errors] and he was able to assure the A.E.C. representative that it would still come down in deep water.[/i]
